Porsche Thrill in Elvington

A briefing first with a qualified instructor at the Elvington Race Track - a former RAF base

Then some demo laps to get a feel of the 1.7 mile Elvington track

Take the driving seat of the Porsche 996 Turbo

Receive a driver analysis form and certificate

Elvington track in Yorkshire is a great location for a unique Porsche driving day. This racing circuit evolved from a former RAF base, using its runway as part of the track. This not only makes it very fast but also very safe for Porsche driving beginners as it includes large run off areas. The handling and acceleration of a Porsche 996 Turbo is nothing like you will have experienced before. Begin with a briefing and two demo laps driven by your instructor, then drive for four breathtaking laps of the 1.7 mile circuit. Finish off with a presentation of a driver certificate to remember your experience by.
